A History of Magic, Witchcraft, and the Occult

This book was delightfully different than I had assumed. the book went historically from legends to modern day and touched on different religions, beliefs, and practices around the world. It talked about how Eurpoeans were the only ones really waging a war on pagen beliefs in order to convert people to christianity. I was intregued on how many religions have popped up in the last century and the idea of Neopagens.
